North India Surges: Investor Capital Shifts East

North India has emerged as the dominant force in India's investor landscape, now leading the nation in registered investors. This significant shift, which accelerated post-pandemic due to enhanced internet connectivity, has seen the North region's investor base expand six times since FY19.

Nationally, North India accounts for 36.8% of all investors, outstripping the West's 29.1%. At the state level, Maharashtra remains the largest, contributing 15.5% of investors. However, Uttar Pradesh has notably overtaken Gujarat to become the second-largest investor state, reflecting a broader spread of investment participation beyond traditional financial hubs.
